Overview

They're big, they're bad, and they're everywhere -- Brava's national bestselling anthologies continue to delight devoted fans across the country, and the franchise that began with All Through the Night now brings a whole new meaning to the idea of Christmas ecstasy.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Six of Brava's steamiest writers (Lori Foster, Janelle Denison, Susan Donovan, Donna Kauffman, Alison Kent, and Nancy Warren) team up to produce a contemporary anthology of erotic, holiday-focused short stories that are as diverse and entrancing as Christmas tree ornaments. The heroes range from a sexy, Santa-playing pediatrician to a furnace repairman who makes Christmas Eve housecalls, and the settings include everything from a Texas Christmas tree farm to a plush Chicago hotel. Even the traditional "stranded-in-a-snowstorm" and "boy-next-door" scenarios make an appearance in this often funny, explicit, and sometimes outrageous collection. Although language, style, and quality vary greatly among the stories, fans who like their holiday romances sexually graphic and sizzling are sure to find something that will appeal.

This book will keep you hot on a cold winter night

All of the authors in this anthology are auto-buys for me. Every story is fantastic. He sees you when you¿re sleeping by Lori Foster, introduces us to neighbors Booker Dean and Frances Kennedy. Booker is now free to pursue Frannie and boy does he. Lori Foster delivers the sizzle, along with strong ties to friends and family. In All she wants for Christmas by Janelle Denison, teacher Faith Roberts offers Dr. Matthew Carlton on night of passion. But Matt wants more. Janelle Denison story delivers the heat along with the romance. Susan Donovan¿s Turning up the Heat we meet Valerie Matthews, she wants to indulge in a fantasy with a stranger. Can Earl the furnace repairman fix her problem? Susan Donovan¿s characters are witty, full of sass and steam. Baby its cold outside by Donna Kaufman has Suzanna York reuniting with lost love Jace Morgan. Can they put aside their problems and start over? This story starts with the heat and doesn¿t let up. A blue Christmas by Alison Kent has Jessie Buchanan looking for the one she left behind, Thomas ¿Blue¿ Miller. No one has been able to make her burn like Blue. Ms. Kent delivers a very erotic tale of love lost and found. The Nutcracker Sweet by Nancy Warren has co-workers Tara Ellison and Daniel Jarvis always at each other throats. Until Tara issues a dare to Daniel. This dare leads to a night of passion that neither can get out of their minds. Nancy Warren story has her blend of humor and sizzle. This anthology is a keeper.

Highly Recommended!

When I heard there would be an anthology of 6 stories by some of my favorite authors, I couldn't wait to read it. It definitely lived up to my expectations! The book opens with HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING by Lori Foster, about neighbors Booker Dean and Frances Kennedy. They¿ve been pals for a while. Can Booker convince Frances they should be more than just friends? All of Ms. Foster¿s trademarks are here: plenty of heat with large doses of family, friends, and humor. Next is ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS by Janelle Denison. Teacher Faith Roberts and ¿Dr. Sexy¿ Matthew Carlton agree to spend one unforgettable night together. Will it be enough to satisfy them? It¿s a very steamy, yet romantic story. TURNING UP THE HEAT by Susan Donovan is about Valerie Matthews and her fantasy of sex with a perfect stranger. Will she be willing to take the risk with furnace repairman Earl? Ms. Donovan has a great writing style with characters and a plot that are anything but ordinary. BABY, IT¿S COLD OUTSIDE by Donna Kauffman is a story of former lovers Jace and Zanna reunited after 10 years apart. Can they find a new beginning after being separated by time, distance and broken promises? Their unplanned reunion was overflowing with heat and spontaneity! A BLUE CHRISTMAS by Alison Kent is probably the most erotic of the bunch. Jessie Buchanan visits her old hometown - and former lover Blue Miller - after a 10-year absence. She needs to know if Blue can rekindle the passion they shared; a fire she has been unable to find with any other man. In THE NUTCRACKER SWEET by Nancy Warren, co-workers Tara Ellison and Daniel Jarvis do nothing but clash when they¿re at the office. Will Daniel accept Tara¿s challenge to see if the passion that fuels their daytime arguments will let them burn up the sheets at night? Nancy Warren¿s talent for combining steam and humor shines through. There was not a single weak story in the bunch. My favorite books have plenty of humor, steam and romance, and every novella in Jingle Bell Rock more than qualifies. Highly Recommended!!

Very Spicy! Wish I read this before Christmas!

Six authors in one. Every story warmed the heart. Lori Foster always delivers, but this was one of her best. Janelle Denison's, All She Wants for Christmas, was a combination of HEAT and affection...surprisingly touching. Donovan, Kauffman, Kent and Warren were a must read, as well! Don't wait for the Holidays! Take it from me.

Good Stories, Easy Read

I felt that the book was pretty good. Fun and festive, although I felt the stories were a little repetitive...
